Moving newspapers to e-ink has already begun

William
Gibson was certainly right when he said "The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet." But not
for long. The New York Times has a very interesting piece on newspapers going e-paper -- and we aren't talking Internet
editions. Besides the obvious discussion of dynamic ads, how much e-papers will cost, and the when, where, and how,
we're presented with something interesting: De Tijd, a Belgian financial newspaper, has already put their
paper on iLiad e-ink
eBook readers; Les Echos in Paris, the IFRA group in Germany, The New York Times, as well as the
International Herald Tribune are all in discussions to roll out e-newspaper subscriptions for devices like Sony's Reader later
this year. Sure, for now it's still in monochrome, but that won't be for long; besides, it was Earth Day this
weekend, people, time to make some sacrifices. Think of the trees, won't you?
